I figured why buy now when it's spring if you don't want it until November, also come November gas prices could have gone up substantially again, SUV's will be out of favour again, newer models out making older ones even cheaper, and... Why buy now when November is 8 months away?
Input?

thanks Tim,
there's a couple of schools of thought on this.
Yes, of course, if you really dont need it til November why spend the money now. Will an SUV be higher priced then, possibly. But not because its winter time. I think you are starting to see used vehicles in general going up in price due to the economic conditions.
If you are thinking of buying a vehicle, right now might not be a bad time to be looking. As time goes on with our current condition, you might see that vehicle start to move up in price a bit.
a good buy is a good buy no matter when you are looking at buying. Do your due diligence and get a lot of information about the vehicle that interests you. there are a lot of buying options out there right now. Don't rush into something until you are absolutely sure its the deal or vehicle you want.
but waiting just cause of season, really makes no difference in the car business. At least not anymore. SUV's are just like any other vehicle.
good luck and let us know if we can be of any assistance.
